Putter

ABSTRACT

A golf putter including a putter head attached to a shaft, a fishing reel, two spinning line guides, fishing line, a golf ball with a countersunk screw and a fishing lure. The fishing reel, with line, and line guides are attached to the putter shaft. The putter can be used to putt in the game of golf, practice putting and retrieving the ball by attaching the golf ball to the fishing line with the countersunk screw or casting and retrieving a fishing lure by attaching the fishing lure to the fishing line.

Putter

[0001] The Fish & Putt Fun Club can be made from any standard off theshelf golf putter. The putter head should be of a design that willfacilitate the drilling of a vertical one-eighth inch hole parallel tothe putter face through the center of the putter.

Fishing Reel

[0002] The fishing reel should be a closed face push button reel withthe line release button positioned where it is accessible to the thumbwhile gripping the putter. The reel must be of a high enough qualitythat the fishing line will pull off the spool smoothly and freely.

Line Guides

[0003] The line guides on the Fish & Putt are of the singlefoot-spinning type. The use of a single foot guide helps because onlyone attachment foot has to be bonded and secured instead of two, whichsaves assembly time. The use of one ¾ and one {fraction (7/16)}-inchline guide is used to guide the line to the putter head.

Fishing Line

[0004] The fishing line should be approximately 10# test and should beclear to limit visibility.

Golf Ball

[0005] The golf ball should be a solid core design. Liquid center andwound golf balls present problems when drilling and countersinking isaccomplished. No special brand is required.

Line Attaching Screw

[0006] A #5 countersunk screw is used to attach the line to the golfball. Other size countersunk screws may work as well.

Fishing Lure

[0007] Any fishing lure can be attached. Lures weighing ⅜ oz. or greaterwork best with the Fish & Putt.
